Paramount Deal: Consumers Lose
Posted August 28, 2007 by Josh

If you are heading out to your local movie retailer today, keep an eye out for a Blu-ray copy of 'Blades of Glory' as a few copies have reportedly made it to store shelves. If you find a copy, you will have the opportunity to own a prime example of how the recent Paramount deal hasn't hurt just Blu-ray consumers, but all high definition consumers.

John,

The very next day Michael Bay posted a retraction of sorts.  In fact the night of the blowup he said he watched 300 on HD DVD and was blown away.  So the story you're talking about was nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction and is old news.

I'm not sure why it was ever a big deal anyway.  For years film buffs have dissed Bay left and right.  Now all of a sudden some want to treat him as one of film's greatest assets.

Don't you find it bit strange that you keep saying I have no credibility, but you have NEVER proved me wrong on my facts about Blu-ray and HD DVD.  That is not the correct usage of the words by any definitions, yet, you continue to incorrectly use them.  I guess you live by the ruling of manipulation...say a lie enough times and it will become truth.  That's not noble at all.  You seem to be a very hateful person.

You don't provide any factual evidence to oppose what I say about these formats.  You almost always just attack me, personally, instead.  Does that scream logic?  Does that scream good character?  Does that tend to show that you are correct?  Of course, not, but you continue none the less.  You appear to be blinded by hate and the truth will never reach you in that state.

I gave facts to dispute your claim that Mitsubishi held a 2D to 3D Blu-ray demonstration.  Rather than admit you were wrong, you first tried to discredit me by making it seem like I was calling the reporters liars.  When that didn't work, you tried a bit of misdirection and pointed to the title of the article...as if that had anything to do with the original issue.  When I called you on that, you simply ignored it.

Does that scream logic?  Does that scream good character?  Does that tend to show that you are correct?  Of course, not, but you continue none the less. 

Dude, you really need help.  The article is still there for all to see.  The title of that article (and many others about the same subject) has 4 key things in all of them...Blu-ray...Mitsubishi...3D...Demonstration (Demo).

No one needs to discredit you.  The stuff you spout sometimes screams "disconnected from reality".  You need to do something...call a hotline...get a doctor...click your heels 3 times...something!  I'm really starting to get worried about you...honestly.  Just tell me your just f'ing with me or something. 

I read this article, they gave a 3D demonstration of stuff filmed in 3D.  They did not give a demonstration of a movie filmed in 2D, being converted by a mitsubishi hi-def player, into 3D.  They did mention in the article that "supposedly" mitsubishi is going to be offering a BD player that converts 2D movies into 3D, however, that is not what the demonstration showed!!! 

Why is it that you are reading something completely different???

The only thing is I can point to solid numbers and solid research to prove my words as fact.  That's why I have issued the challenge for this to be settled once and for all.  That's why no one will accept.  They already know the outcome before they even attempt it. 

Or... perhaps we just don't feel like engaging in a discussion with a smug, obnoxious know-it-all suffering from superiority complex.

The first reaction is usually the honest one.  The funny thing is...he had that same feeling until he left the studio heads.  Hummm, I wonder what happened.  It seems to follow the same pattern as the Paramount decision to go HD DVD.
